THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS; ti Ali 18g6. [ ItlIE TIMES.] The public is• not the most teachable of aIl scho;.. lass, or we might be disposed to hold forth for a .•-liinUtes or two on a test as pregnant with homely and • useful instruction as any that ever "came before us. The London ,Custoni-house—thc New Custom ' iiouse," which at the age of nine years has perished of old age—was one of the lions of this metropolis. It was estimated, by men held wise in then' 'vocation, that .this budding was to have cost the country .a sum s aillosinting altogether to 177,0001. At that sum: it ,w'ao contracted for by Mr. Peto, the builder, who exe ctited his contract by charging 3'70,0001. for a Cus totn-honse that fell in pieces at the end of just , nine years: We read in the, evidence on this most cha racteristic trial, that a spesies of timber was em— Ployed for piles, which it was notorious to the parties themselves—builders, foremen', surveyors; and ads—, 'widuld inevitably perish if not constantly immersed in water ; and yet, among them, that they managed to Witt wall for the express.purpose of' keeping out the water. We read that the builder remonstrated ; With 'the GovernMent surveyor on the weakness of the piles, the unfitness of the ground in its then state for the admission of the piles, and on the general insecurity of the foundation ; that the sur veyor answered—" Oh, it is well enough ;" and 'that the builder, with his own eyes open, ,although,the .surveyor, whose duty it was to direct him, might be classed among the other unserviceable ." sleepers" of the concern—the builder, it seems, could answer it to his conscience to finish. off, and to turn out of hand, sti article which was to cost the country no less a stun than 370,0001., and which one of the witnesses declared- was not culaulated for so much as ten years' duration. NoW what the public have a right to Isnow is; :where they are •to look for redress. The Trea sury patronize their own trades Men. In this case the n:ation hasbecn cruelly defrauded. The • action was brought to snake ft scalp-goat of "somebody, and it Tailed. A jury have given judgment against the Trea isnry ; who, then, we ask, is to pay fOr this abominable jial.;,? The Chancellor of the Exchequer of course will shake his head, and tell the people, " You cannot say I did it." The great. Lords and Right Honourable Gentlemen will answer, when applied to, as Sir C. 'Long did about the pictures“l am too busy ; I leave all such matters. to Mr. Seguier." So shall we hear it said by o th er parties-- ,, We haVe too much Cabinet work to attend to i we. leave these low jobs to our SurVeyor." Next, then, 'comes the Surveyor : an action, we presume, will be brought against him, failing that against Mr. Peto ; and what is Mr. Laing's defence ? , he, too, turn the tables aod preach against some:superior worthy? The truth is, that there exists no check worth a farthing to deistedation of any kind. Talk ,of bubbles ! what bubble of them all so. tseacherous and ruinous as the EM.'ve Responsibility bubble I Verily, John Bull has a broad pan of shoulders, and with them a merciful ( 4 .isposition. He bears every thing ;he forgives every thing, be forgets every thing ; and therefore learns nothing.

CITY OF LONDON INFANT SCHOOLS. • Yesterday the first Anniversary Festival of the above Institution was held at the Albion Tavern, Alders;- gate4treet, the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR in the Chair. The object of the' Institution 4s . to provide infant schools for the reception of the children of the poor, from two to six years of age, , and to provide for their cave during that portion of the day'wheir, by the ne cessary avocations. of the parents,: they are' unavoida bly separated from each other—to form the children to habits of 'obedience, good order, • arid attention, and to give them such elementary instruction as may prepare them for entering with advantage into those schools where they may acquire useful knowledge, and be taught 'the great truths and,dUties of reli t gion. Mier the cloth was. removed, , g Non Nobis Do , mine" 'was delightfully sung by. Messrs. Broadhnist, - Pyne, Collyer, and E. Chapman. The King, the Duke of York, the Duke.of Cla rence, and the rest of the Royal Family, were then severally drank with enthusiasm; after which rm..; Lunn MAYOR MSC,' for the purpose of pro- I posing as a toast—" Success to the City of London School Society." He congratulated every gentleman present at the first anniversary festival of an Institu tion which promised such - singular advantages to •all. classes of the community. He said to all classes, be cause he *as certain that in .the comfort of the lower classes of society was,' chiefly concentrated the happi ness of the higher. - He feared that it might be con sidered presumptuous . for'him to address them, while persons so much more competent were present ; Inn as a Magistrate he felt bound to give his opinion that the great prevalence of ,crime was owing to' the want of early education. It was not the wish of the Society that the Children shOUld be taken from beneath the authority of their 'parents,---but parents tlnmselves were sometimes so vicious,' that it would not he pro per to trust the education-of their ,children entirely to them.--(Cheers.)---His Lordship then proposed suc cess . to the Institution, which. was enthusiastically drank with three times three. Song, Mr. Broadhurst—" John Anderson, my jo, John. • • The Bishop of CitEsTEit then rose to propose a toast, which he was sure would be received with the cordiality which the merits of the persons whose names he was about to mention were calculated to excite. He meant the Patrons of the Institution, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. the Earl of Liverpool, and the Right I-lon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London. He felt gratiAed at being enabled to couple such names with their in fant Institution as those of the Bishop of the Diocese, the first Magistrate of the City, and the first Minister of the Empire. He felt the more gratified, because he knew that the public bowed to such authorities as the beacons and lights of society. He was aware of the importance of their sanction, because the public gave them credit for having weighed the merits of any institution to which they affixed their names before doing so, lest their example might lead others into errot. The Right Rev. Prelate then enlarged upon the utility of the Institution, and sat down amidst ge neral applause. In the course of the evening donations and subscrip tions to a considerable amount were announced, and the conviviality of the party was kept up to a late hour. Amongst the persons present on the occasion were the Bishop of London and Bishop of Chester, Sir William Wizard, Alderman Thompson, M. P., and Alderman Brown. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 18. nAziEr AND ANOTHER V. BEAUMONT. This was an action brought to recover the amount of 6,15001., for kcharge for erecting a conservatory, of very . ppeuliar construc tion, and such a One as was not to be found at any other place in this..conntry, or even in Europe. The plaintiffs arc ironmongers in Bo:born; the defendant is Colonel; Beaumont, of Northutriberland. • The work for which the action. was brought was for the erec tion of a'domical conservatory, 4lie cubic space of which was re ,preiented by Mr. Sergeant Vtiughan to Contain four tittles the. cubic space Of the Court of Common Pleas, for which there was . an estimate given ; but the works, from alterations, additions, anti insprOVementa, were increased! to a aumamounting, to about 6,5001. There was also - attiched• thereto two. boilers 'capable of, working two 74mr3e power steam-engines, and. a•vinery; these were included in the sum stated. 'The work was first pioposed'hi 1820, het was not completed until the . aututnn ,of the - lost year, when the-agent of the defendant objected,.:to the conservatory, as unfit for the purposes intended, and that-in Pact the upper dome 'would not carry the glass ; it never had been glazed,:and a great number of witnesses; deposed that it twisted with - the wind in its ,unglazed state, and that if the , glass. was' 'placed therein, the 'eff;ict of the wind would be such, that it would he dangerous.— 'Many WitnesSei were also called with respect to the value of the womb, who thought the eharges,enormous.

JusTIO - E chaigecl the Jury, that it was for them. to say; air had - been alleged by the defendant, whether or not the work was perfectly useless. If any part could he used, they were to say the•Aable of that part ; and if a sum was necessary to complete, any part of, thneOnservatury, or that, as it' apf)eared'by Many of the:witnesses for the. defendant,' it was instacient for the intended purpose;,they would deduct such sum as would complete it. Certainly oue fa 4 should be taken into account—that the dome ! had.ncver Fern 'glazed ; ,and they had heard from man of eininencri thit it would be much stronger when so done, and that the 'twisting and vibrating complained of wosild cease.

MARYLEBONF...—.7artes Wright Bevil, a young man of great muscular power, wretchedly attired, and nearly covered with whitewash, was charged by George Richardson, an old man, with an assault of a desperate nature. George Richardson deposed, that he was n labourer, and was formerly a watchman, residing in Acton: being appointed by the parson's clerk to cut furze in Old Oak Common, he proceeded to the Common on Wednesday afternoon fur that purpose, accom panied by two boy*, his children. While employed in his work, he heard the children scream : on going to the spot to ascertain the cause, he saw the children running, followed by a dog and the prisoner, who, is. servant to Pr. Bevil, encouraging the (log to bite them. The children were some yards on the Common side of the ditch, which separates Dr. Bevil'e property from it, and the pri-- sober was on his master's premise& lie asked the prisoner what he meant by eating the dog at the boys? lie said, " That boy got up the tree." Richardson denied it, as the boy had but one land, and it watt, impossible he could climb. The prisoner then Ra id, « No, it was the other boy ;" and jumping across the ditch, seized Richardson by the collar, threw him on the ground-the dui pitched into him and se zed him bythe temple, (very evident Marks Of which were remaining), and he believed•his face would have beti torn to pieces, if some persons had not come cut of-the house, :and beat the dog MT. Three persons, named Marnham, Kilby, and Iloddeedon, were Ore,, e ing Old .Oak Common at the time in a chaise-cart; they heard repeabA cries of tkinurder V' and driving hard up the hill in the direction of the voice, came to the old man's msistance ; they . saw the orisoner dragging Richardson along, whose face was covered with blood from the bite of :the dog. They rescued the old man, and endeavoured to take Bevil into custody ; he jumped Over hie imaster's gate and threw stones at them ; two of them, Kilby. and Hoddeedon, following him over the gate; he went into the 'tonic; and returned with a sword, (a large one of the sabre kind, producrd in the office); and Kilby deposed, that he had . no doUbt be should have been run through if llodtleadon had not struck the prisoner on the side of the head with a brick, which be threW at the moment he was closing upon him. . They put him to flight hy pursuing him with a pitchfork, and •took him with the assistance of Williamson the constable. Dr. Bevil, who ~was in the office on behalf of his servant Bevil, here interposed, and .addresstal ,Mr. Griffiths, " Your Worship fets a'tiespass has been committed." Mr. Gatircrits—l see no such thing—call the complainant forward. Richardson, upon his oath, declared that neither he nor his chil dren crossed the boundary of the common. Mr. GRIFFITHS—After the •asiattlt had been committed, the witnesses had a right to follow the prisoner over the gate. Dr. your Worship permit the case to stand over till the evening or to-morrow, that 'I 'may produce witnesses? Mr. Gamerrns.lt does not appear to me that the oaths of all these witnesses can be contradicted ; yotir becoming bail with another potion is not half the trouble to you that it will be for all these persontto be brought here again.--Dr. Bevil and a friend became bail, UNION-HALL.—Yesterday a respectably-;attired man, named James Mal, was brought before R. J. Cum Taxes, Esq., the presiding Magistrate, charged with feloniously °Wining possession of some goods, the property of Mr. James Brady, fire-iron and fender-maker, No. 9, Gray's-inn-lane. The prosecutor stated, that so long ago as May, 1923, he accidentally met the prisoner at .tCpublie-house,' who then re presented himself to be a waiter . ..builder, residing at No. 11, 'Vauxhall-walk, and that he wanted some fire-irons. In the course of a day or two afterwards, the prosecutor took some articles, worth upwards of 31., to the prisoner's lodgings, at the prisoner's request. The latter was not in the way at the time, but desired if any one culled with the articles, to have some more in addition. : The prosecutor himself went, and on his as certaining the prisoner's request, again went with snore tire irons. • He was then told that Use prisoner had ions away, the landlord of the house knew not whither. •About 12 months ago, Mr. Brady. Said, he perceived the prisoner enter a public-house, in Fleet-market, accompanied by some others, and he followed them in. The prisoner recognized him, saying, with a familiar nod, " Hotv..are you ?'l4,itou ?" The prosecutor then went out to fetch an officer, but on his - return. with one, he found that the prisoner had escaped, and he saw no more of him until that.morn ing, when he met him in Holborn, and immediately gave him into the care of one of the ,city officers. , The prisoner, on heit - asked what he bad to offeritfdefence of the accusation, said, that it was merely a debt, and the Magistrate had no jurisdiction, . • . . - On the prosecutor being asked by Mr. Co.katileas if any bar gain had been made with respect to the articles, an answer was given in the negative. It was hk intention; he said, to have had the price settled before he had delivered the second parcel of goods, but when he went with them the prisoner was gone. . . . Mr. erfAkerns (addressing the prisoner.)---What trade are you?.--I am a builder. Are you in work /—I Was before:l was apprehended to-day, Whale house are you building ?,-.My. own. Where is it situated Z---(In a surly tone) It is nothing to you, and I. shall not tell you, as you are going to commit me on the oath of that man (pointing to the prosecutor.) The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. HAWKI-ILMST FESTIVAL. • A festiVal of inest• gratifying' description, end fourdeg a strong contrast to the scenes of riot and dissipation too generally indulged in during the ,holiday,seasoe, took place at. Hawkhurst, in Kent, on Mondatheit. Some of the resident gentry who had witnessed with concern the frequent appeali to the poor-box, which have of late unfortunately became too common among the : labonring population, determined on making an 'effort to restore the true old English feeling of independence, which an • habitual .dependence on parochial, relief threatens ,entirely to destrOy. , To effect this desirable object, they promoted, by 'their.personal ex ertions, and aided by their purses; the formation of a friendly aub: scription society among the agricultural and other labourers in their neighbourhood. The object of the association was•to create a fund by trifling periodical contributions, out of which the mem bers were to be relieved, at certain rates, in case of sickness or other casualties. The plan, formed at first upon nvery small scale, 'succeeded beyond the fondest expectations of its benevolent projectors; a decided improvement was effected, not only in the pecuniary affairs, but also in the, moral condition of the contri butors; the parochial rates were relieved of a considerable portion of their berthens ; and numerous candidates for edanission poured in from the adjacent parts of Kent and. Sussex: Among .the benevolent promoters of this institution, which promisee so many bleSiings to a deseriiing cLas of our fellow creaturee, Henry Winchetiter, Esq. of Havvkliurit, has been one of the most active. To. the persenel exertions of that gentleman the society was mainly indebted for its organization, and for the code of regulations under whichit has beet, so advantag'eouily con ducted. But his zealous exertions in their cause did not stop there. On Whit - MontJay, the day . appoitited for the celebration of their annual festival, about two Inifidred ' , Of the members, cleanly and comfortably dressed, and wearing cockades, marched in procession to the principal, inn,: preceded by ii hand of music. Hiving arranged themselves in order in front of the house, he ad dressed them from a 'Window, and' after paying them some due compliments on their orderly conduct and becoming appearance, proceeded to point out the many advantages which had resulted from'their association. lie exhorted them to continue ittedfast in the good cause in whick they had embarked;; to cultivate the manly feeling of independence which. must' cult from a reliance on the reeources provided by themselves, rather than on the fore tuitous aid of parochial relief; and to save their children from the demoralising state of pauperism, to which a lees provident line of conduct would inevitably consign theta. ; The Society men, : oar roundedbYtheir associates, received thia 'address With attention and becoming respect; but when, at the conchision of his addreee, their worthy patron proceeded to present them with a pair of co lour., in token of Lis admiration of their conduct, their rapture knew.no bounds, • and " the welkin rang" with their shouts of joy. Their flags were red and blue r knei bore, in lett , es of gold, • the appropriate mottos of " Loyalty to the King; and obedience to the Laws," and " By faith Weperiftveee, for our trust .is in God." uTltithur procession h. , then marched off,` in 'exeellent ord e r, t o Hawk iira :Where a most appropriate discouree was delivered to.tbexe by' he Rev.

T. s---s, a young gentleman from the Sister Isle, and a Mr. int_ni, - • an . Italian ; Mr. S. was attended by Captain W., and Mr. 13. by Mr. E—ton. , Mr. B. fired first and missed Mr. 5.,. upon which the latter gentleman discharged his pistol in the air, which put an end to the affair. The quarrel originated the evening before in Portland-place, in consequence of Mr. S. horse whipping Mr. 8., having mistaken him for another Italian gentleman, whom, we are 'informed, ite;much resembles. Mr. S. on being convinced of his mis take, apologized ; but Mr. B. considering Mr. S. had carried the joke.too far, insisted on n meeting. ANOTHER' SERIOUS AFFRAY BETWEEN THE. COAST BLOCKADE AND SMUGGLERS.- 4%e. have been favOured with . some particulars of another recent attempt to work contraband goods a few miles east ward 'of this place,. when it appears the Coast Blockade succeeded in taking.a large boat and upwards of two tubs.

The Blockade in this .instance behaved in the most humane manner, having received a regular volley from the opuonenis before their officers gaVe directions for them to fire. We have just heard that five of the smugglers were killed in the affray.—Brighton Gazette. The Opera of Margaret of iinjou, by M. Pix6,re Court, has long been a favourite on the Continent.
